  1. What's not to like about a Phantom...? Beautiful work, my friend - I love it!

  2. Phantastic Phantom!

  3. sweet sweet F-4! Perfect Job!

  4. Looks great, I say you just can't beat these Academy kits for value out of the box. I know some like the ZM kit, but for the extra cost and still having to add to it. I'll take the Academy any day!

  5. Like it? Nop, I love it! Excellent build, very solid overall

  6. Rob yes i prefer a academy after all, but i order ZM cos i want to have F-4S So i will compare them 😉

  7. Very nice work and an excellent result.

  8. Great in this SEA scheme! Well done!

  9. Beautiful Phantom, Leoš!

  10. Leo's,

    I can only echo what has already been written... the modeling is very strong and the work is top notched. One niggle, the lighting is rather dark and hides all of that eye candy. Perhaps, some better/brighter lighting to show off all of your gifts and talents. Some of the shadows don't show the amount of work and effort that went into the building of this kit. Brighter lighting would eliminate the shadows and show off the paint job better and give a better of idea of the load outs too. Looking forward to more of your articles and work.

  11. New work on table so next sea camo is comming 🙂

  12. Leos, Really nice look F-4C, always a fan favorite especially when its done this well !

  13. Leoš This is beautiful work! Congratulations - great painting of a wonderful scheme!

  14. Hello Leos,
    Excellent build.
    The camou finish on this F-4 is done very well. besides that, always good to see F-4 Phantoms.
    Especially since they have vanished from European sky's. Regards, Dirk

  15. A nice clean Phantom build! I recently bought another C so I could do another take at my dad's F-4C in Nam. I realized my first one wasn't correct, as his was one of the early birds with Navy-style pylons (he was USAF).

    • Number of your fathers F4? Was it in Da nang? I love planes with story.:)

    • If your father Is Joseph kittinger he was flying on f4D 🙂 So this Is plane on which he scores mig kill
